  • Great for fine wines
Brian Dunsmoor’s namesake restaurant, Dunsmoor, is the latest iteration of his ongoing exploration of American heritage cooking. It is, first and foremost, a restaurant for the community that surrounds it, and a loving expression of the relentless research that has informed his cooking for the last ten years.

We offer the full menu at tables in our dining room and at the chef's counter, as well as at our outdoor tables. Reservations are recommended but we make every effort to accommodate walk-ins when possible.

Dunsmoor's wine bar, accessible either through the restaurant or via its own door on Ave 35, does not accept reservations and serves a limited menu of our raw and larder items.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Few chefs can work a hearth like Brian Dunsmoor, who cut his teeth at Southern star Hatchet Hall before opening his namesake restaurant in 2022. The long tables adorned with flickering candles make the restaurant an ideal place for a date, as do fiery dishes like wood-roasted oysters and mushroom-crusted pork chops. The cornbread, slathered in cultured butter, is the stuff of dreams.

                                        All I read was about how this place has amazing food and I can say all of what we ordered was just “ok.” The famous cornbread was missing something. The mushrooms were cold. The chive potatoes were good but also not that warm. The rib eye was nothing special. It wasn’t warm enough and the flavor was lacking. Overall I was disappointed in the food. It was also too loud. The service was good.

                                        I have to say, Ive been to Dunsmoor only a few times, but it feels like it just keeps getting better and better and the restaurant and food were already incredible the first time. The service is always top notch and the atmosphere is a really great vibe. I can't say enough great things about Dunsmoor.

                                        the food was absolutely great - could not ask for much better. The experience was marred by an obnoxious waiter (just one person - male with blond hair) who decided to be demeaning to the table. We had the oysters (great) and one of our table requested some vinegar - entirely a diners choice - when removing the vinegar, he chose to say "and how was the vinegar?". Unprofessional and from that point on we had terrible service from him. The other wait staff were delightful and took over our table. Particularly the sommelier

                                        Great date night. Heavier food than I expected but delicious. Also better vegetarian options than expected

                                        Best meal I’ve had since returning from Italy! An absolute must try in LA. Top favorites were the Albacore starter and Ribeye (enough to feed 3 or 4, or a very hungry 2). Delicious! Will return ❤️
